Remedy: thriller and horror, the mystery of Mr. Scratch

The different conceptions of the horror in a new and interesting interview published by Hell Decent, Oskari Häkkinen and director Sam Lake Remedy explain something about the background of Alan Wake. In particular, their view on the difference between thriller and horror is a kind of subtle but well marked line which separates the blood and horror often linked to gruesome scenes of psychological elements and the introduction of additional layers of intellectual instill fear in the spectator not only for what they are seeing, but also for what could happen at any moment.

The second level is therefore the thriller, and this is thought that Remedy's Alan Wake in the construction: "to stimulate the emotions is what you should do a good entertainment product" and that's particularly close to the basic elements used in the game for Xbox 360, as the contrast between darkness and light.

As for the mysterious character of Mr. Scratch, one of the more specific questions in the game, Lake declined to offer any specific explanation, saying only that his identity might be revealed at some point, but it could be something really puzzling "and that" maybe we should not expect to ever having to discover, be warned.
